Why cant we have a connector, not unlike this, that has the ability, if required, to be locked.

All it would take is the provision of some locking lugs, not unlike the old iPod dock connector, you squeeze the side to release.

Nothing worse than running connectors just to have them pull out because they cannot lock into place.

Take it from someone in Europe that has used SCART connectors for years, they dont lock and always fall out due to the weight of the cable.

Locking as an option people!!!!

The RJ-45 is a disgrace. Designed to attach to the back of desktop PCs and rarely disconnected, it’s large, clumsy, and a pain to unplug. With just four connections to make, it’s ripe for something much smaller and easier to use. And despite the popularity of WiFi, there are many, many situations where a wired connection is necessary for security, user density, or high-bandwidth traffic.

Apple should create something clever, support it as a standard, and release the specs for anyone to use. Something that self-disconnects like MagSafe would be particularly nice. A new connector would make it easier to link various digital lifestyle gadgets. I wouldn’t wish an RJ-45 on my worst enemy.

Just sayin.
